Germany · $0 VC · acquired by Flippa · 2021
👤 Laurits Just (Ex-BlackRock, Rocket Internet, LSE finance. He knew secondary/partial buyouts — a deal type most bootstrappers never heard of.)🌐 siteLinkedIn

A marketplace to sell your online business in full or in part — verified micro-PE buyers pay to reach you.

Will it work? · our read
A clean exit. Finance insiders launched a no-code partial-exit marketplace on $0 marketing. Strong demand pushed them into full sales too — but Flippa owned the buyer pool, so they sold in 2023.

Flippa
Two non-engineers built it on Webflow + Memberstack + MemberChat; deals ran through an Escrow.com partnership. Starter Story
$72K/yr is the founders' own Starter Story figure (about 2022, pre-Flippa) self-reported. Post-acquisition numbers aren't broken out; we don't guess a current one.

· Founder & revenue — Starter Story ($72K/yr, self-reported)· Founder background — IdeaMensch, Thunder.vc· Acquisition — Flippa press release (Dec 2023)· Escrow — Escrow.com partnership
The $72K/year is the founders' own figure via Starter Story (about 2022, pre-exit) — self-reported, not audited. PH #2, the $90/mo no-code build, and the 2023 Flippa acquisition are documented. CENTS & moat are our read. We never score you.
